The evenings are getting longer, the weather is getting warmer. So what does a girl need to do to bring on those warm sunny summer days and summer evenings. That’s it, we need to update our wardrobes. I have recently been getting summer ready with the help of Yours Clothing.

I was recently, contacted to ask if I would like to work with Yours Clothing, who are a UK plus size fashion retailer. What is great about them is that they have clothes for real women. Those of us that have the tum and the wobbly bits. Plus with their range covering size 14-40 there really is something for everyone.

Looking Through My Wardrobe
I recently had a good sort through my summer wardrobe, seeing what I could salvage from last year. What still fitted and what had seen better days.
I have a few staples that I like to keep to wear in the summer
- Linen Dresses
- Maxi Dresses
- Skirts
- Tops
This meant timing for this campaign came at a great time, as I needed a few maxi dresses to complete my wardrobe.
My Choices
Curve Purple Tropical Print Knot Front Maxi Dress

A lovely print maxi dress featuring
- Tropical Print
- Maxi Length
- Knot Front Detail
I chose this as I loved the print, they do have other patterns available also. plus it is perfect for day wear, but also for evening wear also
Curve Pink Floral Print Cami Maxi Dress

I have a thing for prints this year, I fell in love with the style and print of this dress. Although it does come in other designs as well.
A sleeveless cami design, that has elastic waste that breaks the top and bottom of the dress. which is great for hiding those extra pounds.
Curve Black Floral Wrap Dress

Again I chose another print, but I also have a think for wrap dresses as well. This is perfect for evening wear, but just as good for lunch out with the girls. Or just because.
Curve Beige Brown Crochet Knit Slash Neck Top

Something totally different is this gorgeous crotchet knit top. I had something similar years ago, that was perfect if it got a little cooler and pop on and great for evenings as well. As I wore mine so much it literally fell to pieces that I could no longer salvage it.
I have been looking for something like this for a long time, and it is perfect.
My Thoughts
As you will know from last week, I had a fall and been very sore and in pain. This meant I was home, and not able to put a bra on. So getting decent pictures of me in the dresses, was just not going to happen. I have tried them all on, and they fit perfectly to size.
They look amazing on and perfect to see me through the summer and our holiday. You will see photos of me wearing these items pop up in posts and social media, and I will also update on here.
What are your summer essentials that you have to have?





These are truly stunning, I am such a floral girl. However, my favorite is the Curve Beige Brown Crochet Knit Slash Neck Top
I am really loving florals at the moment as well, the crochet top is gorgeous and so glad I found one as been looking for years as my old one had to go
I love summer wear and these maxi dresses look absolutely beautiful! I do love their designs
They fit great as well, which is always a plus
It is great there is a shop devoted to plus sizes with models who look healthy and promoting the clothes. We all age and grow and put on weight. It’s all a normal process and we shouldn’t need to compare ourselves to models out there. Yours is great at doing that. The dresses you picked are all so summery and light. Great choices. I need to find a long dress too for the summer
As soon as I see perfect bodied models I don’t look any further, I prefer to shop at places that have real women with curves as most of us are that way. I have tried all the dresses on and they all fit great. Definitely my new go to shop for new clothes
I love doing a little clothing haul in the summer, with more flowy stuff for the warmer days! Yours Clothing is one of my favorite shops.
I love flowy dresses for the warmer days, Yours Clothing have so many lovely dresses and separates I could spend a fortune on there

I love that first tropical dress, the colors and the cut of it are lovely. I think all three choices are fantastic picks for summer 🙂
Thank you I wore the tropical one yesterday and it was so comfortable and I had lovely comments
Maxi dress looks perfect on you, also perfect for summer. You look fab.
Sadly none of those pictures are me, but do look great on and fit really well
These are great choices for the summer. I love to wear dresses when it’s warm enough. I need to get some more maxi dresses for the summer.
You can never have too many maxi dresses they are great for day and evening wear
I love love love all your dresses, they’re sooooo beautiful and vibrant…The one with pink flowers is stunning…
Thank you, I love them all and perfect for the summer
These are all so cute! I’m not a dress person, but I like them. I really like the crochet top, it would make a great swim suit cover up.
I have started wearing dresses more in the past 10 years, the crochet top is so versatile and can be worn in so many ways
What gorgeous dresses I love that tropical print one – you are definitely summer ready with those!
I am loving them all, and perfect for day or evening wear
That crochet top is gorgeous1 I also had one of these – probably way back in the ’90s – and they really are so versatile. Plus they have that bit of glamour and bohemian aesthetic, so I always felt great wearing it. Will have to check this one out.
It is gorgeous isn’t it and really is versatile
I like to have a good pair of denim knee length shorts and some floaty tops/ dresses. The ones you picked are lovely, esp the cami one x
I haven’t worn shorts out for years, I do have a few linen pairs I wear around the house, I love dresses and floaty skirts as well
These are lovely! I like the Monstera print best, but style wise I think I would probably wear the floral wrap dress. I only have about one summer dress, it never gets hot enough in Scotland to justify having a wardrobe full of them, lol.
I am wearing the tropical print dress today, as had to take my daughter to the dr and I have an emergency dentist appointment, teamed with a denim jacket it looks great even though I feel rubbish and is practical
Great choices, I love to wear a maxi dress always makes me feel glamorous
I do love maxi dresses, and I know what you mean about making you feel glamorous
Fab dresses!
Love linen and maxi dresses for summer style – you made great choices too
I have a nice selection of linen dresses, but do love my maxi dresses and loving these and they fit really well
What gorgeous dresses, they scream summer to me. I do love a maxi dress and that crotchet top is fab.
Oh no! I hope you are feeing better now after your fall. x
I love the look of the Beige Brown Crochet Knit Slash Neck Top. It looks very versatile!
